Creating a queue worker for laravel app?

[XevoTech]

Hi!
I've developed a Laravel app, but I can't get the queue worker to work, as I'm unable to create the file...

# APPNAME Queue Worker File
# ----------------------------------

[Unit]
Description=APPNAME Queue Worker
After=redis-server.service

[Service]
# On some systems the user and group might be different.
# Some systems use `apache` or `nginx` as the user and group.
User=www-data
Group=www-data
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/php /var/www/app/artisan queue:work --queue=high,standard,low --sleep=3 --tries=3

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I'm aware of that the ExecStart path is wrong, but I can't create this file Any ideas?

@xevotech Is this the LAMP app?

[XevoTech]

@girish Yes

[XevoTech]

@girish Any ideas?

@xevotech You cannot put in a systemd service file because the app is running in a container and the container itself has no systemd inside it.

Not an expert on laravel but there are two ways:

• In the startup script, start the queue worker in the background - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/lamp/#custom-startup-script . So, sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /var/www/app/artisan queue:work --queue=high,standard,low --sleep=3 --tries=3 &

• Alternately, you can put this in the crontab - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/lamp/#cron-support . So, 0 * * * * sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /var/www/app/artisan queue:work --queue=high,standard,low --sleep=3 --tries=3 --stop-when-empty (the stop-when-empty is needed so that the queue worker quits when the queue is empty).

Would either of the above work?

@girish said in Creating a queue worker for laravel app?:

udo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /var/www/app/artisan queue:work --queue=high,standard,low --sleep=3 --tries=3 &

Not sure, but I'll try. I'll report what I find

@girish I'm getting an error with LAMP's PHP.ini. Chaning the PHP.ini in the data dir doesn't fix it. What do I do?

The error as following:

@xevotech What are the contents of /app/data/php.ini ? It seems there is some syntax error. Note that you have to restart the app for the php.ini changes to take effect.

[XevoTech]

@girish

; Add custom PHP configuration in this file
; Settings here are merged with the package's built-in php.ini


disable_functions = ;

[girish]

@xevotech There is no ";" in the end for php.ini settings, maybe that is the problem. So, just:

disable_functions = 

[XevoTech]

@girish Now it doesn't output any errors, but I can't access the page:

@xevotech is there anything new in the logs now? Maybe this is quicker if you can drop me an email on support@cloudron.io and I can take a look as to how to make it work with the LAMP app.

[girish]

@xevotech I made a proper article to run laravel apps - https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/lamp-laravel/

@girish Hah this actually helps me with the Humhub app. Thanks! My solution was to use sed to delete line 312 in /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini lmao. Jank to the extreme.
